Abstract

(57) [Problem] In a conventional straight tube fluorescent lamp portable light, the straight tube fluorescent lamp is rotated by vibration, and the straight tube fluorescent lamp base part pin comes off from the U-shaped socket attached to the main body case. In order to prevent this problem, attach cellophane tape to the straight tube fluorescent lamp insertion part of the U-shaped socket and the straight tube fluorescent lamp to prevent the straight tube fluorescent lamp from rotating and falling off. But it was not enough. SOLUTION: A straight tube fluorescent lamp 7 as a light source, a globe 10 for protecting the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7, and a U holding the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7 are provided.
Since the main body case 9 provided with the U-shaped socket 8 is provided, and the rib 10a provided on the glove 10 is arranged to be inserted into the straight tube fluorescent lamp base portion insertion opening of the U-shaped socket 8 of the main body case 9. In addition, it is possible to provide an inexpensive portable light with improved usability without the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7 falling off due to vibration and without deteriorating the appearance.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a straight fluorescent light portable light, and more particularly, to holding of a straight fluorescent light.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, due to the popularity of outdoor activities, portable lighting fixtures, particularly those using dry cell-type straight tube fluorescent lamps, are often used outdoors at night, such as in auto camps.

Conventionally, this type of straight tube fluorescent lamp has an external shape as shown in FIG. 3, and as shown in FIG. 3, a main body provided with a U-shaped socket 1 for accommodating a battery and holding the straight tube fluorescent lamp. It has a case 2, a straight tube fluorescent lamp 3 as a light source for illuminating the surrounding area, a globe 4 for protecting the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3, and a screw 5 for holding and fixing the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3. The retaining structure of the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3 was as follows. After inserting the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3 into the U-shaped socket 1 provided in the main body case 2, by rotating the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3, the ribs of the U-shaped socket 1 are attached to the base of the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3. To prevent the provided pins from coming off, the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3 does not fall off.

However, in many cases, a person travels by car to a campsite or walks with a portable device. At that time, excessive vibration is applied to the main body, and the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3 rotates due to the vibration, and There was a possibility that a problem that the tube fluorescent lamp base part pin came off the U-shaped socket 1 attached to the main body case might occur. To prevent this problem, cellophane tape is attached to the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3 insertion portion of the U-shaped socket 1 and the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3 to prevent the straight tube fluorescent lamp 3 from rotating and coming off. Was.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In such a conventional portable light, there is a danger that the cellophane tape may be peeled off, and the existence of the cellophane tape itself is hardly good. In addition, since cellophane tape is rarely applied after replacement of the straight tube fluorescent lamp, there is a problem that the straight tube fluorescent lamp rotates due to vibration and the fluorescent lamp base falls off the U-shaped socket on the main body case. I was After the replacement of the straight tube fluorescent lamp, since the adhesive of the cellophane tape was transferred to the U-shaped socket, there was a problem that the appearance was impaired. Furthermore, the number of parts and man-hours in the production department increased, which led to higher product costs.

[0006] The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and provides an inexpensive portable light with improved usability, in which a straight fluorescent lamp does not fall off due to vibration and does not impair the appearance. The purpose is to gain.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a main body case provided with a straight tube fluorescent lamp as a light source, a glove for protecting the straight tube fluorescent lamp, and a U-shaped socket for holding the straight tube fluorescent lamp. And a rib provided on the glove is arranged to be inserted into the straight tube fluorescent lamp base insertion opening of the U-shaped socket of the main body case.

[0008] Thus, it is possible to provide an excellent portable electric lamp capable of reliably preventing the straight tube fluorescent lamp from falling off due to vibration or the like, improving the aesthetic appearance, and reducing the number of parts and man-hours.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 According to the present invention, with the above configuration, after inserting the U-shaped socket of the straight tube fluorescent lamp, the glow is inserted between two pins of the straight tube fluorescent lamp base and the straight tube fluorescent lamp base of the U-shaped socket. Inserting ribs protruding from the lamp prevents rotation and falling off of the fluorescent lamp.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 shows an appearance of a portable electric lamp according to the present embodiment, in which a main body case 9 provided with a U-shaped socket 8 for accommodating a battery 6 and holding a straight fluorescent tube 7 and a light source for illuminating the surroundings brightly And a globe 10 for protecting the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7 and a screw 11 for holding and fixing the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7. It also includes a bead ball 12 as a light source used as point illumination, a reflector 13 for condensing light from the bead ball 12, and a front base 14 for protecting the reflector 13.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a straight tube fluorescent lamp holder. After inserting the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7 into the U-shaped socket 8 provided in the main body case 9, the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7 is rotated, so that the ribs 8 a and 8 b of the U-shaped socket 8 are connected to the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7. In order to prevent the pins 7b and 7c provided on the base 7a from coming off, the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7 is prevented from falling off in the initial state. Further, when the globe 10 is attached to the main body case 9, ribs 10 a protruding from the globe 10 are provided between the ribs 8 a and 8 b of the U-shaped socket 8 and on the base 7 a of the straight tube fluorescent lamp 7. Insert between pins 7b and 7c. As described above, according to the portable light of the embodiment of the present invention, since the straight fluorescent lamp 7 is prevented from rotating, the straight fluorescent lamp 7 does not fall off due to vibration.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the groove for protecting the straight tube fluorescent lamp is provided with a rib for preventing rotation of the straight tube fluorescent lamp and has a fall-prevention function. It is possible to provide a safe and inexpensive portable electric lamp that prevents straight tube fluorescent lamps from falling off.
